Sounds about right.
Depending on your ink and paper, you also might try what Roy used to
call Boost K, letting your darkset gray underprint your K. Whether or
not you get a dmax boost, and how much is helpful, you'll have to test
for. Even if you get no boost, but no dmax decline, you may get
smoother blacks. Also, if you are not using a 100% pigment K ink,
you'll get a little more stability down there. Watch for bleed.
